David Eby was almost bested by a leader, John Rustad , for whom he displayed nothing but contempt.

The New Democrats had been driven to the brink by a party that barely existed when Eby moved into the premier’s office two years ago .

Still, Eby claimed to see cause for celebration Saturday night . “There was a clear majority for progressive values,” he told supporters.

There’s talk that in the next term, presuming there is one, Eby will be less centralized, more into delegating.

He might even clean out the platoon of special advisers in his office, given the underwhelming results.

But given the lack of contrition he has displayed to date over the election, believe it when you see it.
